Don’t just ‘treat’ lice off-shears this autumn.
Get a guaranteed, fully-effective outcome with Extinosad Pour-On or Viper Pour-On from Elanco.
Extinosad Pour-On provides rapid knockdown control of sheep lice with minimal impact on your management or marketing options.
Viper Pour-On contains powerful second-generation neonicotinoid chemistry for rapid knockdown of sheep lice.
Extinosad Pour-On and Viper Pour-On are the only lousicides backed by a 6 months off-shears lice-free guarantee!
Elanco guarantees that if either product is used in accordance with the label directions and best practice lice management guidelines, no lice will be detected on sheep six months after treatment off-shears.
In the event lice are detected within the six month period after shearing and treatment, Elanco’s local Territory Manager and a technical services representative will visit your property to investigate the issue. If it is determined lice control has not been achieved, and the terms and conditions have been complied with, then Elanco will provide a suitable lice control product at no cost.
For full terms and conditions of the guarantee, visit either extinosad.com.au or viperpouron.com.au.
This guarantee is just another example of how committed Elanco is to helping you obtain best results from your investment in quality animal health solutions.
Elanco can also provide free advice about strategic parasite control programs, best practice guidelines, and if needed, provide an on-farm application demonstration for your staff.
The Elanco team will set up and service your Power Doser ensuring it is
ready for another season of use and working correctly to allow for optimal product application.
As a major supplier of animal health products to Australian sheep and wool producers, Elanco supports the adoption of best management practice to not only ensure effective parasite control – but to protect the efficacy of all available effective chemistry.
All lice treatments should be used as part of an integrated pest management program, including good fencing, mustering, shearing and application technique.
Industry guidelines discourage the consecutive use of lousicides with the same mode of action.
Resistance may develop to any chemical if it is used continuously.
Currently there is no known resistance of lice to spinosad, thiacloprid or imidacloprid in Australia, so let’s keep it that way!
The spinosyn and neonicotinoid chemical families account for the vast majority of sheep lousicides used in Australia, meaning the following recommendations are particularly important:
Regardless of the mode of action of the lousicide you used last season, consider rotating to a different mode of action this autumn.
If consecutive use of the same mode of action is required, careful attention should be paid to achieving eradication after treatment.
Industry guidelines also discourage the application of chemicals with the same mode of action for lice control and blowfly strike prevention in the same wool growing season.
